damage should occur and depending on the overall accuracy you require, you may
receive acceptable results.
4.2.4 Common Mode Voltage < ±10V /Differential Inputs
Systems with varying ground potentials should always be monitored in the differential
mode. Care is required to assure that the sum of the input signal and the ground differ-
ential (referred to as the common mode voltage) does not exceed the common mode
range of the A/D board (+/-10V on the PCM-DAS16x/12). The diagram below show
recommended connections in this configuration.
4.2.5 Common Mode Voltage > +/-10V
The PCM-DAS16x/12 will not directly monitor signals with common mode voltages
greater than +/-10V. You will either need to alter the system ground configuration to

When the voltage difference
between signal source and
A/D board ground is large
enough so the A/D board’s
common mode range is
exceeded, isolated signal
conditioning must be added.
